I too get the black screen after xwin starts, ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work - using USB keyboard and from pressing caps-lock it looks like there is no response.

Got it to work by adding pfix=nox, then using xorgwizard to select Vesa instead of Xorg. Xorg still no good with mesa-8.04.

In the Puppy Package I can only select slackware packages.

The latest stable AbiWord is 2.8.6, any reason why 2.9.1 is packaged with Slacko?

---

No soundcards detected (worked on 531)

I take it your using ALSA 1.0.25 - nice one.

this is the output from alsawizard

Code:

Everything else seems to be working fine - using frisbee for wireless.

When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected

I was making Russian remaster of this Slacko and found some bugs. I wanted to test pnethood after translation but I don't have any network to test so it should have displayed an error of no network, but it displays nothing. I fixed it by copying part of working script and pasting it into this one.
Mounted iso-image was not visible in remasterpup so I have applied my old fix, also xz compression is very slow on my PC so I guess it would be nice to have some dialog box with the choice of compression.
Also smaller mplayer pet in this thread is not only smaller but it works better. (No delay between video and sound on downloaded from YouTube clip: BBC Olympics Montage set to John Lennon's Imagine.flv.) Delay was in Racy-5.3 and on bigger Mplayer pet.

Should be a substantial improvement over alpha, I did plenty of tests on video in a variety of machines:

my test results wrote:

These are video reports from all the hardware I have
except my main nvidia card, it always works anyway, same
with the onboard nvidia in the same box. (Athlon-X2)
I used Nexuiz, an open source 3D shooter introduced to
me by Billtoo to test real world graphics performance, not
scientifically, just either it works or not.
I also have my wife's macbook with nvidia, but that always
works perfectly so didn't test.
I used the "export vblank_mode=0" variable to get the
true glxgears reading in all cases.

Can you try export vblank_mode=0 then glxgears please? I am thinking that nouveau has progressed to the point that it is now better than the proprietary nvidia driver, at least on older cards anyway. It is on my Vanta.

Not much diff on the 440, you should see a substantial difference on the intel, as I did and with the radeons.

edit: you beat me! I don't really know what to make of any of that anyway! That's why I use the Nexuiz game as a benchmark. I'll have to look into the performance figures in that. It's a pretty big download though at ~900M, cross platform with mac and windows, but that extra stuff is only a few meg._________________Woof Mailing List | keep the faith |
